In the scorching summer, everyone finds it difficult to bear the heat, and little huskies with long fur are even harder to endure it.,how can they get through this long summer?
Q&A
Fearing that the Siberian Husky will get too hot, fearing that it will sweat and have an unpleasant odor, it is bathed all day long, and even to make it cooler, the fur is not dried immediately after bathing.
Answer: No! Huskies do not have sweat glands, and frequent bathing can wash away the natural oils in their fur, making them more susceptible to bacterial infections. It’s better to brush your husky’s fur regularly to keep it clean and well-ventilated.
Little Ha is afraid of heat, so it is kept in an air-conditioned room for a long time.
Answer: Xiao Ha stays in an air-conditioned room to avoid heatstroke, but it’s important to ventilate the room. Pets can also suffer from air-conditioning sickness if they stay in an air-conditioned environment for too long. Especially if a pet that has been out in the sun for a long time is brought back to a house with the air conditioning on, Xiao Ha is more likely to get sick.
Many Siberian Huskies drool in the summer, which can be annoying and you may want to change this habit.
Answer: Some breeds of dogs drool in the summer as a way to regulate their body temperature, especially after exercise. This is a natural phenomenon and there is no need to try to change their habit.
As soon as summer arrives, shave your pet’s fur off to help it cool down？
Answer: In the summer, it’s important to trim your pet’s foot and belly hair regularly to help them stay cool. However, it’s important to avoid cutting their fur too short, as some fur is necessary to block harmful UV rays. Additionally, if you shave your pet’s fur, they may become depressed and avoid socializing, which can lead to behavioral problems.
Emphasis: Comb more, bathe less. When it gets hot, people like to take a shower to remove sweat and body odor. In the same way, many Siberian Husky owners think that their dogs also need bathing, so they bathe their dogs all day long. In fact, this is not correct. Yang believes that most Siberian Huskies do not have sweat glands and do not sweat. The little bit of oil on their skin is very valuable, and if they are bathed every day, it will be washed away, which is not good for their health. Once the oil on their skin is gone, they will have difficulty fighting off bacterial infections. Therefore, even in summer, it is not necessary to bathe them too often. Bathing them every 7 to 15 days is fine. For example, when we met Husky, it had not been bathed for seven days, but it was still as white as snow. After a bath, it is important to dry them off. If they have been out, you can use a damp towel to wipe their feet and a dry towel to wipe their body, and they will be clean. Although they don’t need to be bathed often, summer care is still necessary. The best way to take care of them is to comb their fur often.
It is also necessary to enhance nursing care, including brushing teeth and washing face, even though bathing is not necessary frequently. However, brushing teeth and washing face are essential, especially in summer, when it is necessary to wash the pet’s ears and eyes. When cleaning the ears, a few drops of special pet ear cleaner can be applied to the base of the ear, and gently massaged. Generally, it is recommended to apply it two or three times a week. Small pets generally do not like brushing their teeth, but the owner should still help them maintain oral hygiene. In the evening before sleeping, a piece of gauze can be used to wipe the pet’s teeth to prevent the formation of dental calculus.
Preventive nursing
Apply a drop of medicine to prevent fleas, if you need to take your pet out for activities, you can do some preventive work against insects and fleas in advance. The specific method is to part the neck hair between the head and back of the pet, expose the skin in the middle of the neck, and apply some insect-repellent medicine there. The medicine can penetrate into the skin, so the pet will not be bitten by insects. There are many brands of medicine, such as the imported brand Frontline, which can provide protection for one month with each drop. You can consult and purchase at a pet store. Why apply it on the neck? Yang said that Siberian Huskies also often lick themselves, if applied on other parts of the body, the pet will be harmed when licking the medicine, while the neck is a place that they cannot lick.
